Congratulations to all the nominees especially our own AMVCA best Actor in Africa, Daniel DKD, nominated under "Best Actor in Lead Role" category.

Upon chatting him up to congratulate him:

#VnTMEDIA: congratulations Daniel, you just got another nominations at the forth coming AMAA, 2016

DKD: My brother, thank you very much. I got the news while I was on set filming in Benin. Thank you for your support, for your encouragement, am very grateful for this.

#VnTMEDIA: We strongly believe, going by the nominees in your category, that the awards will be you up against OC Ukeje, and you are most likely going to grab this one yet again.

DKD: My brothrer like I told you shortly before the AMVCA, I'll do my own part, we do own own parts regards promo, prayer and everything while keeping our fingers crossed. And on this one too, getting this far already, we just keep our fingers crossed and believing Jehovah to do the rest.
